      Re: Armed Forces in Canada

      I guess that's the problem Gordon that we don't have the time available to read everything. I tend to look at my sites being a resource so if you want to dig into various aspects of history we'll provide a lot for you to read. When I post up pdf files I do always scan through them for quality of content but don't often read them in detail as I simply don't have the time. When I ocr in a book I of course I have to read it <grin>
